Recorded monuments

• WI021-079 Standing stone
  Description

  On a gentle SSW-facing slope in an area of bog at the base of Spinans Hill which dominates the view to the SE. Good views to N and S with Tuckmill Hill visible to the SW. In a raised area in very marshy terrain. A tall, narrow, granite standing stone (H 1.71m; H of NE face 1.5m), roughly hewn, orientated NE–SW (dims. at base: 0.26-0.28m NE-SW; 0.2-0.25m NW-SE). It is broader at the top (dims. 0.27m NE-SW; 0.3m NW-SE) where it is angled sharply at 45◦ rising (by 0.17m) to the SW. It has a concave SE face. A slight depression around the stone was probably caused by cattle poaching. A Linkardstown-type cist (WI021-057----) lies c. 120m to the NNE.

• WI021-090 Bullaun stone
  Description

  Discovered in the course of a DAFM archaeological field inspection in advance of a proposed afforestation project. Located in dense vegetation comprising reeds, gorse and grasses, c. 3.3m N of a SE–NW orientated watercourse and on the W-side and base of a narrow, shallow but steep-sided gully/ relict dry watercourse (Wth c. 1.2m; D 0.9m). There is a standing stone (WI021-079---) c. 55m to the SSW, a Linkardstown Burial site (WI021-057----) c. 65m to the NNE and Spinan’s Hill is just visible above the edge of the gully, to the E. A low (H 0.32m) partially earthfast and soil-covered, rounded or concave-sided granite boulder (L 0.59m N–S) with mica inclusions, contains a very shallow (D 5cm), oval depression (surface diams. 0.25 N-S; 0.19m E-W; base diam. 6cm) apparently carved into its flatter, upper surface. The sides and base of the basin are smoother than the other faces of the boulder which is particularly evident given the large mica inclusions present in the boulder. A second, irregular-shaped and vegetation-covered boulder is contiguous at SW.

• WI021-091 Mound
  Description

  Discovered in the course of a DAFM archaeological field inspection in advance of a proposed afforestation project. A possible archaeological monument – a circular feature - had been identified at the location on DigitalGlobe/Bing aerial imagery (2012). Situated on a slight terrace in a steep, W-facing, pasture slope in the SW-corner of a field with mature hedge-rowed boundaries c. 9m to the W and c. 10m to the S. A low (av. H 1.7m) grass-covered, circular (base diam. c. 20m N-S) mound is steep-sided and round-topped (surface diam. c. 5m). The break of slope at the base is sharp whilst the break of slope at the top is gentle. Significant prehistoric activity is recorded in this general area: a Linkardstown Burial (WI021-057----) c. 155m to the NW and three Cists (WI021-087----, WI021-088---- and WI021-089----) c. 530m to the N and NW. Consequently, this mound is likely to be prehistoric as well, and possibly containing a Neolithic Linkardstown Burial? See attached images: • WI021-091----_1 Mound viewed from W.
